Whimsical Death
A girl of mystery, spunk, and deep desire
Lived in a castle, no I'm not a liar
By far the most beautiful girl in the land
For miles the men would gather and stand
Although her face was indeed quite becoming
Catch her alone, and you might hear her humming
The wheels in her head spun around and around
The eccentricity of her mind would never be found
She envisioned unicorns, and a dancing little fairy
She rode upon rainbows, this made her quite merry
She visited lands you'd never have thought existed
She'd bring back candy, her brother's now insisted
You'd never see her leave, nor return in coming
Yet very rarely there, you might find this cunning
Each time she left, it was harder to bring her home
Each time she returned, her eyes were dim as stone
Happily one day, she was too far gone.
She didn't hear her father's cry, only her mind's song
She danced in the favorite of all her lands
As she tore, and she ripped, and cut open her hands
She flew across the vibrant and radiant sky
As she jumped out her window to finally die!

The Farmer
Living in his own torturous and painful life
He knew there would never be anything but strife
He awoke each morning, and put on his clothes
And shooed from his windows, the obtrusive crows
Not a moment of peace, not now and not ever
He toiled in his fields, but it did not matter
The birds picked at his food, and stole all his work
And there was never any rain in his part of the earth
The insects and bugs helped themselves to their share
And the deer joined in, no they didn't care
He yelled and he screamed, each day he cried out
"Save a little for me," is what he would shout
And slowly each month, as the drought dragged on
The river dried up, and so did the pond
After a week flew, from hunger and thirst
He became very ill from this ghastly curse
He tried to write his sister, he tried to call a friend
But he was too weak from the earth's barren sin
One morning he did nothing at all
He hid in the shadows, never trying to crawl
When his bones were discovered, he was nothing but dust
And his home had collapsed, from age old rust!

Ordinary Girl
This is a story, it is sad but it's true
Of a girl that I once upon a time knew
She sat at home, all the day long
Sitting and thinking and singing her song
She was lonely, yet too afraid to connect
For the world around her was far too hectic
She hid in her sorrow, hid in her fear
She cared not how this may appear
She much preferred to sit in her garden
Watching the birds quarrel and squabble
Each day that passed, she went to bed crying
Why, oh why, could she not stop her sighing
She longed to join in to all that she saw
But what if they discovered her hidden flaw
She was not normal, no definitely not
This could never be found, uncovered, or caught
She could hear it now, all of them laughing
As they cursed her with their endless mocking
So day after day, she sat all alone
And every night you could hear her pitiful moan
She had come so far to escape the hate
Traveled across oceans, to this beautiful landscape
She made friends with the fish, swimming in her pond
Made friends with the squirrels she found in her lawn
And this is how she stayed, until the day she died
She burned to death in her house, totally fried!
